House of Leaves - Don't open that door
The hallway bends again It bends when you blink I marked the wall You marked the wrong wall Someone, tell me — Don't say a word like that The house keeps score The house keeps score Listen, you hear that? I hear the gap Under the boards Behind the boards Something breathing slow Something learning us I found the blue tape You found a bruise The stairs were shorter They were hungry Every door returned Every door returned To a room I left To a room that moved I wrote it down The page won't stay still My hands went numb Your hands were already gone There was a frame There was a frame And nothing in it And nothing in it Don't look back It's already there Don't say my name It knows your face One step more The floor remembers One breath left Then the dark answers The house is closer Closer, closer The house is closer Closer, closer We are the hallway We are the hallway Don't open that door Don't open that door The camera lens kept shaking Your hands kept shaking The empty room grew teeth The empty room grew teeth Listen, read it again No, burn the page I heard the echoes The echoes heard you first They spoke in angles They spoke in seams They called from below They called from inside I followed the sound The sound followed back I lost the stair I lost the stair Don't look back It's already there Don't say my name It knows your face One step more The floor remembers One breath left Then the dark answers The house is closer Closer, closer The house is closer Closer, closer We are the hallway We are the hallway Don't open that door Don't open that door I was never alone in there I was never alone in there The walls kept learning The walls kept learning My voice came back My voice came back Wearing someone else's mouth Wearing someone else's mouth The house is closer Closer, closer The house is closer Closer, closer We are the hallway We are the hallway Don't open that door Don't open that door
